Hmmm...Dream On in '73?

Sure 'nuff, Whitburn says it went to #59 in 73, then went all the way to #6 three years later.

LA in the early 70s--I shudder to think what the buffet at that session looked like.

Looks like there'll be more rain up here, but I'm skeptical if that applies to LA in late March. VHM Showdown.

via his brother.

Now if he plays "Bop" in whatever '80s year it's correct -- THAT would impress me.

Incredibly, there isn't a single Seals & Crofts song in the Db.  Wow.

We're supposed to get some this weekend as well.  We got enough in late Feb & Early Marchto put a dent in the drought conditions for Nor Cal, but the San Joaquin Valley is still pretty screwed.

that is amazing, tho' I'm almost certain he played "DG" and "Summer Breeze" and "Get Closer" in the pre-db days.

The "Soundheads" are as opinionated as we are... a sample post from today:

...an excellent choice from 1973. These are the type of nuggets I want to hear on 10@10 instead of one hit wonder pop songs that were never played on early fm rock stations.

You want to have some fun sometime, read Genesis Ch. 38 (http://usccb.org/nab/bible/genesis/genesis38.htm) for the story of Onan, who was the 2nd son of Judah (and thus the grandson of Jacob, great-great-grandson of Abraham).   When you get to the end and Tamar has twins, the one named Perez was the direct patrilineal ancestor of Jesus.

If anyone gives you an argument in favor of Prop 8 that goes something like "I don't want my kids to be taught blah blah blah," just ask them, "Do you let your child read the book of Genesis?  I think gay marriage is a lot easier to explain than chapter 38."  I myself have done this.
